Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned 8 months old, just started, a little sore throat, noticed, coughing is quite severe, and now, high fever is not going down. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with high fever be treated in children.Doctor's answer:
The treatment of pediatric tonsillitis can involve selecting sensitive antibiotics based on bacterial culture. While systemic treatment is administered, local therapies can also be chosen to enhance efficacy. Methods include crypt irrigation, direct injection of medication into the tonsils, etc. For children with significant sore throat symptoms, analgesic medications can be used. If the child also has a fever, antipyretic drugs can be taken as needed. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. Tonsillitis is characterized by recurrent episodes. If similar symptoms persist, surgery may be considered after the inflammation is controlled. During daily life, a light diet should be maintained, and a liquid diet is recommended during the treatment period.
